TTC/Pregnancy on Prednisolone or similar part 5

Just wanted to say everyone wating for scans , im sure everythng is goignt o be fine , i know reading about this stuff always made me nervous

hi everyone , bad news on my scan. No heartbeat. i feel like crap. they want me to wait for another scan next wed to triple check but she couldnt see anything but the sac, nothing was in it . i dont know what happened and to think im going to have to go through another miscarriage and then start this all over again had me hysterical and sobbing.
anywayi dont know if i want to do a d & c , im just about to call bupa to find out if can do it through them , i would prefer to do it naturally but it was so painful the last time.
do you think me not taking intralipids made a diff?

Thanks igggi coconut and mercator I did get a bit more sleep last night thank the lord but still tired, suppose my bodies just getting me prepared, looks like I may be having a night baby , smart !!!!

Hope today finds everyone well x

prgnacare and asprin obviously bought normally

dunnit i dont understand how this works, i live near st heliers and my gp referred me to the miscarriage clinic , they started with the blood tests and then discovered the v high nkc, i was told to do the pred,cyclogest,omega,asprin,pregnacare and all on the nhs. why should you be different? something are not covered like intralipids and im not sure what else you have to take but pred was .

mercator im always having twinges and pains all over my stomach, its always a worry as your mind starts the whats ifs, sometimes i manage to just thinks its wind , everything is wind these days , i tell you what i have NEVER had so much wind in my life and been so bloated most of the time except first thing in the morning!
freelance hows the moonface and darkcircles?? notice any changes yet, i wore a dress that fit me really nicely less than 2 weeks ago and it was so uncomfortable yesterday, i really hope some of this is fluid and coz im bloated otherwise i might as well just gets tents now , im only 5 foot FA and every pound shows on me , someone at work said to me that you can really tell the diff the drugs have made on my face /weight , i actually didnt mind , my friends are doing the " i cant see anything different "

Hi all newbies! A quick update from me before I zonk out. I decided to postpone my scan for another 2 weeks due to worrying about ice and snow to get there, we've a 8hr round trip as it is.
So, had a local private scan tonight locally. And its looking ok! Good strong heartbeat, but measuring a few days behind my dates. Something for me to worry about but scanner said no worries at all, its only mm to measure at this stage and it'll even up.
Right, to bed. Love and hugs to all and good luck to all x x x

Thanks Iggi and Coconut its helpful knowing this is probably normal. Think this week is just going to be one of those tough weeks you have to get through. Not that it strikes me reading the posts that anyone can ever completely relax after rmc.

Coconut sorry the house purchase looks like it's fallen through - frustrating.

Battery mean't to say thinking of you too with your results but I think the suggestions about FMC/U? sounds like an excellent one. I don't know anything about it but if they can do some more in depth scans that may help alleviate some of your concerns. I'd be interested myself in knowing more about in depth scans.

Congratulations on your scan Dunnit

Stogan I remember the heart burn from my lo and it was awful so really sympathise.

Pico Good luck with your scan this week.

Free Congrats on 16 weeks that is an amazing milestone - Enjoy the holiday.

Good Luck to all the TTC/WTT ladies! Fingers crossed some more good news.

Evening all.

Battery ? I missed your message yesterday about the scan results. I can completely understand why this is a worry, but try to hold on to the fact that it?s still only a risk of 1 out of 110 people. I really hope the next scan is able to help you relax. I?ve heard great things about FMU so you?ll be in good hands.

Free ? Hurrah for being free of the cyclogest. Has Mr S said how long he wants to keep you on the hydroxy?

Mercator ? I found that I had lots of strange twinges and stabbing pains all the way through the first trimester (and even now sometimes). It?s perfectly normal and is probably just the LO settling in nicely and things stretching to accommodate it.

Digi ? Glad the building work?s nearly over. I think you always forget how stressful living in a dusty and disorganised environment actually is until you?re in the middle of it again. Very exciting that you?re thinking about getting the baby clothes out and packing your bag.

Hope you get a decent night?s sleep Stogan. Those last few weeks are really tough, aren?t they?

Well, it seems I spoke too soon about the house. Got a call today from the estate agent to say the vendor is pulling out, as he?s decided not to sell. Grrr. Shame he didn?t think that one through earlier. Fortunately we managed to get to the surveyor just as he was putting his coat on to head out and do our survey so we get our money refunded. Gutted though. I had a decent night?s sleep last night because, for the first time in ages, I wasn?t worried about where we were going to live when the baby comes.

think twinges

Mercator I'm inclined to thing twinges (as opposed to big throbbing pains) are always a good sign. Lots of stuff going on down there, even now it's starting to stretch a bit.

Stogan I agree physical side even worse in 3rd T, but it's like the last mile of a marathon - the finish line is in sight! Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Also welcome to Olive & Lisa and anyone I may have missed.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for adding me to the list Digi

Iggi sorry to hear you're so exhausted! But what a great milestone!

Wonder if I could pick anyones brains I'm around 7.5 and having some little twinges just behind the pelvic bone - which is worrying me. Next scan not til next week but I have always lost them at 8 weeks so probably paranoid. Anyone else had this or am I just imagining things or being neurotic - probably one and the same!

Awwww igggi sending u massive hugs. I know what u mean when I was in 2nd tri I just wanted to be in 3rd and now I'm here I'm constantly in pain or suffering heartburn so honestly enjoy 2nd tri it's fab coz 3rd. totally "kicks your head in" as we say up here

Hello, back at work today and instantly feeling sick and exhausted again! I have reached 24 weeks today which I think means I can't have a 5th mc? (Though obv can still lose the baby ). There is something significant for me in being able to say that! I am so fed up with 2nd trimester though, wish I could move a bit faster.

Nice to see some new people, hope you get as much support from the thread as I have done

just a quick one, bit flat out at work -

free hehehe you've got it in one about "no I am not having a sad, deluded, phantom pregnancy, the room full of baby stuff is for a friend I , uh, met online"

battery good work with booking in at FMC. They are great but as I have mentioned earlier on this thread they tend to run really behind time. Take War and Peace with you to read. Friends have told me that when the NT scan gives not so good results they also give you quite a clear steer on whether they think it is worth doing an amnio or CVS.

Hi everyone else and welcome lisa and greenolives (if I haven't said hello already)

oh ok so if I type shock it will appear. Thank you x

I'm going to ask a silly question, how do I use bold or smilies on here??? Sorry i'm a bit of a techno phobe

lisa all the smilies, etc. are below the box you type in to post.

Hi Digi, no I was regular 28/29 days, I'm not sure if its my body settling from my last mc or the steroids, I didn't have this problem after my first mc. I'm really hoping he says yes

picolina123 I use the cbfm, I think its great, I sometimes use the temp thing but I don't find that not too accurate. This month I had AF for 2 days then went from 1 bar to 3 bars on CD12, this was 3 days early, i'm a late ovulator never before CD15. Its hard to dtd when neither of you are keen and its kind of sprung upon you. We are not trying this month until I see Shehata to see if he can explain the pains and nausea. Roll on March :-)

Hi digitalgirl. Thanks for adding me to the list!

You asked about scan. I had one last week, fetal heartbeat detected, 7mm embryonic pole. Next scan this Friday (10th) and continue to be terrified.

Suemays do you mind me asking where you live. Just that I am in Bucks and have been told by my GP that NHS will not cover any of my drugs. If this pregnancy goes well it will be no thanks to the NHS as they have done nothing to help me! Grrrrrr!

Just having a sneaky scroll back to see what I have missed and realised I missed a chance to compare Doppler notes with Charlie. I too intended to just get it out once a week but am having a quick listen more or less every day or every other day at the moment. The days when I start to feel well I am particularly suspicious. My swollen tummy also goes up and down. Good luck for the scan today! Let us know how it goes. I have felt the occasionally bubble but I think it is more likely to be wind related than anything else.

PQ also missed your comments about the baby gear. Yes I guess ?It?s for a new friend...? excuse is being eyed suspiciously especially when you have to say ?Oh you don?t know her?? and then if they delve further the 'we met online' details is bound to confound matters even more!

Coconut, well done for the graduation to third trimester! Can?t believe in around a month?s time Stogan is going to have our first Pred Thread baby! Am excited you found a nice house. I am going to have to do the same too - start looking nearish to where PQ lives - but we have to sell DH's flat first and that seems to not be exactly snapping off the market.

Pico I know what you mean about the Cyclogest, I can?t believe I have been counting off the days and here it is ? 16 weeks today and time to stop! I asked DH whether last night should be my last or tonight at 16 weeks and one night, but he told me to stop over thinking these things and just stop So that?s it, no more cyclogest. Hurrah! Am going to wash all my knickers again in celebration ? believe me hand washing in a hotel sink is not really powerful enough for the somewhat nuclear fall out of the damn stuff (TMI alert!). I have to scrub for days to get that chemical smell out of them! It's just me that's so adverse to the smell isn't it? Ugh it really makes me want to vomit.

For the others on Hydroxy, I have really found my appetite has reduced greatly at the moment and I am not sure whether it is because I have started the Pred, because of the Hydroxy or because of general pregnancy...? Anyone else have any idea? I mean, I am eating plenty (enough to keep fattening me up still) but there is plenty I can?t face too. Also I need to eat in relatively small portions. I am eating things I really like, like a lot of salad and some pasta but off things like fish and a lot of cooked food.

16 weeks today!!! Amazing stuff. Must get back to work or I will never be able to hit the beach.

Hope everyone is ok today and Battery good luck with the scan this week. It cost £180 at FMU I think but well worth it. They will do you a DVD too.
